Just a Project

chapter 4

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, will it ever shut up. I was not in the mood today, I wanted to curl up in bed and not move sadly my dad had other ideas. "Come on time to get up" he sounded happy, way to happy, suspiciously happy but I shook it off, he was a after all a psycho for waking up at 4am on a Sunday.

"Go away" I say and throw a pillow towards the door, thinking he was there. "Now that wasnt very nice, I'm going to forget you just did that and when I leave you will get up and ready for the day" he spoke, his tone left no room for arguments and I slowly sat up and saw him standing next to the pillow I threw, I guess he side stepped it. He had a 'don't even think about questioning me'  look on his face and I couldnt help but roll my eyes "yes sir" I say giving him a mock salute which he rolled his eyes. "You would make a shit solider when you cant even wake up on time for school" he commented and we both just looked at each other, I cracked first and burst out laughing, he joined in and after a few moments we stopped.

"Right as your captain I'm saying get dressed and be down for breakfast at 0800" he said playing along and I snicker. "Something funny soldier" he raised an eyebrow.  "No sir, 0800 got it"  I couldnt help but laugh and dad did too. "Leave her to get ready, the longer you are both goofing around up there the less time I have with my baby" mum called and my dad gave me a quick bye and shut the door, I heard him call "yes ma'm" as he made his way back downstairs.  My parents were great and I could never change them for the world.

I got ready in record time, I was more awake now so my mood had changed and I had made a little effort, black Jeans and a camo tshirt, purposely choosing it because of the conversation I had with my dad. I grabbed my bag which I filled with homework and books the night before  and headed downstairs to the kitchen.

Mum was making breakfast and dad was making coffee. I quietly sit down seeing how long it would take before they noticed me.
It didnt take long as mum turned round and her smile grew as she saw me. "You're up, I thought it would take you a while" she stated coming round to hug me. Dad turns to hand me a coffee and he looks at my top before smirking. "Here you are little solider" he places the coffee in front of me and I smile. "Thanks captain" mum rolls her eyes and quickly plates up the food. We all sit and eat, making conversation as we do. Mum asked about my day and I told her a bit about it, it was quite plain nothing special. I dont know why it seemed like they were expecting me to have done so much more.

Time soon went by and I realized the time. I had to leave now or I would be late. "I have to go, I don't want to be late" I state getting up. My parents check their time and they too see it was 8 35. "I'll drop you off, I'm headed to work soon anyway" dad states and I felt guilty for making him go in early but agree anyway because my chances of not being late where higher if he drove.

Soon after I arrived at school and quickly made my way inside. The bell rang as I reached my class  I had made it just in time. Science, i hated it but since it was compulsory i gas to do it. Now i wasn't terrible at it but i found it boring.  I made my way to the back so I wouldnt be called on as much.

The classroom started to pile in and then a boy walked in. I didnt recognize him from this class so I presumed this was Logan. He did look oddly familiar but I ignored it. Whispers about him began to circulate throughout the class and he rolled his eyes and walked to the back of the classroom, he sat on an empty desk at the back.

The teacher walked in silencing the class, I dont think she noticed Logan was in the class because she started the class. It was about 10 minutes into the class when she called me out for not paying attention, apparently doodling in my notebook isnt allowed. "Please explain what I just said Lauren" she asked expecting me not to know,  I looked at her with confidence and began explaining in detail what she talking about even throwing in a few scientific words for her, she looked surprised and I couldnt help the smug look on my face  she didnt call on me for the rest of the class probably a little annoyed with me. The bell went but before I could leave she told me to stay behind, I notice Logan was also stood at her desk. Just great. "Logan this is Lauren, Lauren this is Logan. I want you to catch him up on some of the work we did last year so he has a little bit of knowledge" she explained, normally I wouldnt mins but I wanted to avoid Logan and I hated this teacher. "Shouldnt he have caught up over summer" I suggest and she gives me a sharp look. "I didnt have time" Logan shrugged making me feel more annoyed, he probably didnt care about school, his attitude definitely showed he didnt. "Well isnt it your job as a teacher to teach him" I ask and the glare she gives me makes me regret it. "You will teach him" she states and I knew then that it was end of the discussion.  I walked out with Logan following me. "Why don't you want to help me, is it because you think I'm dangerous" he asked  but I ignored him, I didnt have time to talk I was already late to class. 

Why did I get out of bed this morning?
